Moulin Seigneurial

Moulin Seigneurial de Pointe-du-Lac, Mauricie, Quebec. .The Pointe-du-Lac seignorial mill is in fact composed of two adjoining buildings : a flourmill and sawmill. The Tonnancour seigneurie flourmill was built between 1765 and 1784, to replace the community's first mill, which dated back to 1721. From village mill to small business, the Pointe-du-Lac flourmill was bought by the Frères de l'Instruction chrétienne, a religious community in 1927. The brotherhood, who still owns it today, is responsible for annexing a small sawmill to the main building at the end of the 1940s.
